rebalancing our foreign policy also means refocusing on the most dynamic region of the world's economy, the global economy, asia. the united states has long been and will remain a pacific power and a critical provider of peace, prosperity and security of this vital region. the most critical relationship to get right is that between the united states and china. every day, the affairs of our nations and the livelihoods of our citizens grow more connected. how we manage this relationship between the world's two largest economy, although we're still almost three times as large as theirs, how we do this will help shape the 21st century. this obviously doesn't mean we'll always see eye-to-eye, including on issues like human rights. nor does it mean we will not compete with each other economically. as i said when i was in china, we americans welcome this competition, which drives us to do better, and to be better because there's no doubt that america can compete, and america will win whenever, and wherever, the playing field is level. [applause] ultimately, that is what america is focused on

mitt romney did not mention the issue of foreign policy in his closing statement at the foreign policy debate last night. this is not his field. and he's not pretending that it is. he doesn't want it to be his field. nobody has perfect foresight about what their presidency is going to be like. what they are going to have the option of working on or not working on. but the pressing nature of this issue now is not that it's hypothetical. it's about seeing what's going on right now. we are still actively coping with one of the foreign policy disasters left over from the last time a guy said he didn't want to work on this as an issue. if you take the issue of afghanistan, which you'll have to take on if you want to be president, this was the republican nominee's position on afghanistan right up until last night. >> in afghanistan the surge was right. but announcing a withdrawal date, that was wrong. the taliban may not have watches, but they do have calendars. >> the biggest mistake he's made in afghanistan for one, announcing a specific date that we would withdrew. >> this president annou

and you have to see how most of my issues about obama are foreign policy related. and this is interesting. i thought there was a new aggressiveness to romney. and i wish their aggressiveness was towards obama and their ideas rather than each other. >> and i think think probably wish the same thing. i think both would rather be attacking the president but there is no choice. they're in a contest with each other. one has to prevail in order for that person to take on president obama. it's just part of the process. and who ever does get the nom nation, have you to be to get through this. >> and this to their credit, this made them stronger. and this is -- when i think back, you know, think back four years ago. you were there cheering yes, we can. obama. yeah. yeah. you were. >> yeah. i was chanting. >> sean: chanting away and lighting candles in homes. and worshipping a picture of obama. >> that is how it was. >> sean: the tone i picked up is flat. just same old rhetoric. there is no big vision here. he has to run negative. he can't run on his record. you know? i mean

how does he get so much done in foreign policy and even in domestic policy? little understood. yet his domestic political base and domestic political craft is highly uneven i think would be clear to say. you have more problems than that. you have this image and this is what i'll close with and i'm sure the panel hopefully will help us see more questions and puzzles to ponder on. the supreme image you have of george h.w. bush is, okay, i'll concede he's important some historians say. he was a good student. he inherited a pretty good hand and he played it responsibly. he was a good steward, moderate, cautious, prudent, of course, that signature word. the puzzle here is that the substance of what bush was presiding over were some of the most radical policy initiatives in modern american and world history. the policy agenda for the end of the cold war was the most radical agenda america has adopted in international politics certainly since the end of the second world war. the united states set as deliberate objectives written down objectives that could be achieved -- we would only

policy in part is modeled after the foreign policy of your father. president bush 41. >> i don't think he's been as good at it if it's modeled after it. i would argue in some ways by reality kind of seeping into his life as the commander in chief that a lot of it's modeleds after 43. a little tip of the hat might be a nice think. it will be helpful politically. >> rose: the president owes it to -- >> he doesn't owe. >> rose: should, just as a matter of courtesy ought to say i have built on and using drones and other things i have done for what president bush 43 did. >> i think it would help him politically. for example when he was gracious at the unveiling, there's no way not to be gracious i guess in that kind of setting but it helps, it helps to just a small acknowledgment the guy you replace the isn't the source of every problem and the excuse why you're not being successful i think would help him politically. the question on the fight on terror they clearly awe jusd their policies to what they now see. recognition of that wouldn't hurt him at all
